Cautions for the Li-ion Battery Pack

If the temperature of the battery pack falls approximately below −10°C (14°F), charging will auto- matically stop to prevent degrada- tion of the battery.

Common Cautions for the Li- ion/Ni-MH/Ni-Cd Battery Pack

The ambient temperature range is be- tween 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F). If the battery pack is used when the battery temperature is below 0°C (32°F), the tool may fail to function properly.

When charging a cool battery pack (below 0°C (32°F)) in a warm place, leave the battery pack at the place and wait for more than one hour to warm up the battery to the level of the ambient temperature.

Cool down the charger when charg- ing more than two battery packs consecutively.

Do not insert your fingers into con- tact hole, when holding charger or any other occasions.

CAUTION:

To prevent the risk of fire or damage to the battery charger.

Do not use power source from an engine generator.

Do not cover vent holes on the charger and the battery pack.

Unplug the charger when not in use.

3.During charging, the charging lamp will be lit.

When charging is completed, an inter- nal electronic switch will automatically be triggered to prevent overcharging.

Charging will not start if the battery pack is warm (for example, immedi- ately after heavy-duty operation).

The orange standby lamp will be flashing until the battery cools down. Charging will then begin automatically.

4.The charge lamp (green) will flash slowly once the battery is approxi- mately 80% charged.

5.When charging is completed, the charging lamp will start flashing quickly in green color.

6.If the temperature of the battery pack is 0°C or less, charging takes longer to fully charge the battery pack than the standard charging time.

Even when the battery is fully charged, it will have approximately 50% of the power of a fully charged battery at nor- mal operating temperature.
